There was some very interesting news posted on the Lost Continents website on Friday. Production on VR1's project was officially suspended four months ago, but that didn't stop some team members from continuing to work on it:

Toiling away in the dead of night away from the watchful eyes of the public, a team of developers has been surreptitiously working on Lost Continents since the game was suspended in April. They have held firm to their beliefs in the game and have risen to every challenge in their path. Thanks to that core team, I'm pleased to announce that we have made significant progress towards bringing Lost Continents back into the light. During the recent downtime, the core development team has continued working on Lost Continents. We have finished the basic game systems and built out a few zones to completion as a prototype of the game. The results are spectacular. The areas are gorgeous, as you can see from the screenshots below, and they allow us to begin experimenting with the in-game results of combat, traps, and quests. We¿ve also begun actively seeking partners interested in helping bring Lost Continents to a shelf near you.

Additional information is available via the link above along with three new screenshots from the upgraded graphics engine plus a number of concept drawings. Thanks to reader Gonzo5 for the heads up. - Jonric
